I ran three miles this morning. I wanted to time a 3 mile run to make sure that I can still do 3 miles at a 6.30 pace, which I did. I increased my 2.5 mile time by 3 minutes since the last time that I timed it which was in August. I ran today's 3 miles at 19.20 for my final time. I want to break 19 minutes at the Running of the Leopards so I still have a ways to go. My knee was hurting during the run today, it wasnt a pain that I was used to. It felt like a FAT person was sitting on my knee while I was running. It felt really weird. After the run I went back to my house and did weights. I did leg weights, crunches, squats, push ups, and planks to get some muscle on my chicken leggy body.

Today at track practice we just did a good steady paced fun run. I went out slow because I wanted to make sure that I could go the entire run non stop, which I did. We did the Shriners Drinking Fountain run. I ran there with some friends at a rather slow pace so when I got to the drinking fountain ahead of them, because they walked up the big hill and I ran up it, I waited for them then I decided that I felt really good so I decided to go back really pushing it as if it was a race. I did the last 2.5 miles at 15 minutes something seconds which is a new PR for me. I felt really good today so I really pushed on those last few miles. Before the run we did 8 100 strides with the rest of the team back at the school. I did those way fast, I was really pushing it, We had to do those with high knees and good strong arms. After the run I came home and did some weights on my legs, crunches, and pushups. While watching the XC slideshow!!!!!!!!

Today East High didnt really have school, because the juniors were taking the ACT. So my drivers ed class decided to have a range day and go driving. I finnished the driving early so I went up to the track and ran some laps. I did 8 miles at the track because I need to do 30 this week and thursday I might not be able to run. I did a 3 mile warm up and then I stretched. I was done stretching so I decided to do 2.5 miles more because I thought I would stop at 5.5 for now and do the last 2.5 at my house later in the day. I decided to do the last 2.5 miles to make it a total of 8 because it was still early and my sister was still taking the ACT so I couldnt go home so I finnished the last 2.5 miles. I havnt done a run that long in a while. When I got home I went in and studied physics and did all my core, crunches and push ups and did the leg weights.

Today at track practice we had a speed workout. We started out with a mile warmup with a mile of speed changes, then after the speed changes we did some stretching. We then started the speed workout. We did a 400, 800, 1200 meter timed. My 400 time was around 80 seconds which is pretty slow for now but it was OK. My 800 meter was 3:03 minutes which is a 6:06 mile which is way slow but its the start of the season and we werent pushing these. I wasnt even tired after these. The workout was mainly to run hard with good form and not to worry about the time. My 1200 time was 5:12 which is way slow but again we werent pushing these hard. After those I was at 3 3/4 miles so I decided to do a 1 1/4 mile cool down to get an even 5 for today. My knee was yesterday during the 8 miler but when I started to run it didnt hurt at all today.

Today was just a easy run to finnish my miles for the week. I went to sugarhouse and did 4.5 miles because thats where I wanted to be by tomorrow. Todays run was a very weird one. My legs didnt hurt I dont think, they were just really heavy and had pressure on them. Which is weird because I rested yesterday and didnt run because I had to go to physics after school and then go to peer court so I couldnt work out at all. Overall today was a horrible running day. Today I went to sugarhouse park and saw almost my whole team. When I came home I ate pizza then did my leg weights, crunches, push ups, and after I did those I did 5 strides just to loosen up my legs (or at least try to).
